Revision as of 18:58, 10 April 2018

The New York Times is a daily newspaper founded in 1851, which is published in New York City and distributed internationally.

Appearances

Jim Henson and Kermit the Frog appeared on the cover of the June 10, 1979 edition of The New York Times Magazine. [1]

On September 26, 2008, Statler and Waldorf appeared in an "Op-Art" editorial about how to agree to disagree over watching the U.S. Presidential debate. The piece was written by Hugh Fink, Scott Ganz, and Andrew Samson, who also scripted A Muppet Christmas: Letters to Santa. [2]

November 17, 2011, Adam Sternbergh interviewed Bret McKenzie and Kermit the Frog about the music for The Muppets. The online version of the article was accompanied by a video of the two singing "Life's a Happy Song" less than perfectly to comic effect. [3]

May 12, 2015, Grover answered fan questions about staying healthy on the New York Times' official Snapchat.

Muppet Mentions

In the politic video "Illustrating the Tweets of the R.N.C.", Rick Berke had a conversation with illustrator Christoph Niemann during the "Republican National Convention 2012" in Tampa, Florida. One of the tweets in the video included the one from @Tyra_BangBang, who tweeted "ROMNEY WANTS TO GET RID OF SESAME STREET. he must be stopped." This was followed by a picture of Ernie (portrayed as a Republican elephant holding a knife) and Bert (portrayed as a Democratic donkey).

References

In The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland, Huxley is seen reading a copy of The New York Slimes. He then asks Bug if there is any mention of him, to which Bug replies, "check page six." A reference to The New York Post's "Page Six," famous for its coverage of celebrity gossip.
